Magnolia Electric Co. Teams Up with Will Johnson as Magnolia and Johnson Electric Co. for September Texas Tour and New Recordings
In September 2025, Magnolia and Johnson Electric Co. will pay tribute to their work with
the late Jason Molina and perform four shows in Texas, September 18-21, 2025. Magnolia
and Johnson Electric Co. is a collaboration between Jason Molina’s Magnolia Electric
Co. bandmates and Molina’s friend and collaborator, Will Johnson. Will Johnson is a
songwriter in Centro-Matic, South San Gabriel, and a member of the 400 Unit with Jason
Isbell. Johnson released a new solo album, Diamond City, on April 4th, 2025, and was
also part of the 2009 collaboration Molina and Johnson, a record for which a tour was
canceled due to Molina’s struggles with alcohol.
The tour follows the well-worn Texas trail that Molina and Magnolia traveled many times
during their seven years of near non-stop touring as Magnolia Electric Co. It marks the
20th anniversary of a ten-show Texas tour undertaken in 2005 as part of their massive
world tour supporting the 2005 albums What Comes After the Blues and Trials and
Errors. Expect multiple sets and a solemn yet celebratory evening in memory of Jason
Molina — their bandmate, collaborator, and friend.
Magnolia and Johnson Electric Co. (featuring Will Johnson along with original Magnolia
Electric Co. members Mike Brenner, Jason Evans Groth, Michael Kapinus, Mark Rice, and
Pete Schreiner) will also convene in Texas ahead of the tour to record new studio
versions of both Molina’s and Johnson’s songs, much in the vein of the 2018 Goshen
Electric Company collaboration between Magnolia and Tim Showalter of Strand of Oaks.
Must be 21 plus to enter unless accompanied by a parent.
